I mean, plenty of businesses only have penguin eggs in their basket, and some sort of penguin problem would cause major problems for them. I believe that last time this happened was with the leap second thing around 2005 or thereabouts.
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket" sounds nice, but it would mean a completely different independent service all through your stack. That's not really realistic, IMHO.
The bigger issue here is that: 1) some driver update "just" gets pushed (or how does this work?), and 2) the inability to easily do "this is broken, restore to last version". That is even something that could be automatic.
